Default Bikeless



I am now bikeless ....well sort of. Still waiting on my bike being fixed - useless tossers that Bennetts are.

But a guy has been after my F2 for ages. Came round tonight with a bundle of cash and took my baby away.

Now need to find something quick.

Must have real suspension and no more than 2.5k

there is nothing worse than being bikeless, hope Bennetts get their finger out soon Stuart and I hope you are better soon too so you can get out properly again on whatever bike you choose

Try Bikers Legal Defense 0845 803 3388 if you want a hire bike for a month charged to the Third Party if they were clearly at fault.

Actually you just have to agree to ride the bike more tham 25 miles a week, and have a good case that the 3rd party is at fault.

Feckin insurance - told me not to hire. Like all insurance companies they will try and get out of things. Driving me nuts all this crap from them.

You can get a cracking Kawasaki ZX9R for that amount of money. Plenty of go, comfy as hell and is a brilliant sports tourer. Tons of stowage room under the seat (unlike a pointy SV).Also returns an easy 50+mpg Plenty for sale too as people want newer bikes.
